Weekend Update

What is it about me that I feel guilty when I'm not spending my time being productive?  About all I accomplished this weekend was going to the grocery store and doing a load of laundry.  After my softball scrimmage Friday night several of us traipsed over to the Mexican restaurant where we dove into cheese dip to celebrate one win and one loss.  I managed a couple of decent hits and didn't embarrass myself, thank goodness.  I somehow managed to twist my wrist, though, and spent the weekend with it wrapped in an ace bandage.  Part of the game I was in the position of catcher which meant a lot of up and down.  That might not have been a big deal fifteen years ago but not so these days!  Today is the first day I'm able to walk without being in extreme pain.

On top of all of that, my throat started hurting Saturday.  I went to the doc in a box yesterday morning and they started me on antibiotics for tonsillitis.  They convinced me to do a strep test, but I don't have the results back on that yet.  All of this and I still feel like I was a waste of mass this weekend.  How ridiculous is that?  As much as I can admit it's silly, I still feel guilty.  What is wrong with our society that we don't learn to relax and appreciate downtime?  Or is it just me?

Chase with our munchkins and my sister's boyfriend's youngest.  What is better than being surrounded by a group of sweet and happy children?  Talynn was admiring Baby Connor so of course Jordan had to investigate who was stealing time with her Daddy!

Jordan has gotten very big on holding her baby brother with no help from us.  He seems to tolerate it fairly well.

Aren't they sweet?

Don't you wish you could sleep this hard?  I was able to walk into her room, take several pictures-with flash-and take a short video, all without her waking.  I was so envious!

I love this.  He's just looking at her with that half smile.  I so hope that they have a wonderful relationship with one another.  She is saying the blessing before she eats a banana.  Her blessing right now goes like this:  "God is great.  God is great.  Tank you.  Amen."

I guess, in the whole scheme of things, just managing to take care of the two of them makes me productive enough.  I hope everyone else had great weekends!
